Dropbox Customer Insights

1. The app flat out sucks and amazing that these flaws exist.Very angry! Been paying for about 10yrs! Cons: Missing files, frustrating customer service, syncing errors,&unable to use files on certain devices! "Available offline" on Android devices is not the same as on computer! Unable to actually download files to normal file storage on Android devices, only on Computers! Stored in App not files& only internal devices storage! Support =joke! Pros:Uploading is not ever an issue & actually really easy on all devices.

2. To use your override app, you must tap the "..." to get the dropdown menu for the file and then find and tap on "open with..." EVERY TIME! My number one use fo the app is managing lists in .txt files.

3. The error message reads, "To open this file, please update your Dropbox app" and I can't open the file.

4. Gallery is done in August, I'm terrified I'll lose everything.Almost unusable! It does not display file names when uploading media files, so you have to guess at the correct file by the thumbnail and duration.

5. I can delete a folder, but I can't move the files?? The option exists but the gymnastics I have to go through to find it is CRAZY! Why is it missing in the list of options? I get "manage preferences." And now I can't see all my files because the order is defaulting to Modified when I had it set to Name, IF I can even get out of the Public folder, and can't scroll.

6. I do this 30 or more times every day!I recently started to get an error when attempting to open a document with Word or Excel from the Dropbox app.

7. This defeats the entire purpose of Dropbox, I have no reason to use it anymorhad high hopes, after a couple of months moving all of my pictures, videos, screenshots, documents & other irreplaceable items, I'm only giving a 3 star rate.

8. Before that update, if you chose to override the default app for a file type, Dropbox honored the overide when you tapped on a file.

9. The message above is what displays.Now, my Dropbox documents won't open so I can edit them.In April of 2023, Dropbox degraded the app.

10. I even cleared cache, then deleted data, removed the app, and reinstalled it, but the behavior continues.Major changes puts all your files on the cloud!!! Now I can't access my files while I have spotty access to wifi in a coffee shop, it's exceedingly frustrating.

11. But if I open Word or Excel and navigate to the same files, I am able to open them.
